Hi James,  
  
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.  
  
In order to avoid drop down container for the DateTime columns or any dropdown columns, the ShowButtons property can be set as Hide option. Already we have provided a KB to achieve this scenario. Please make use of the below code and KB link,  
  
Code example  
  




this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["Column_Name"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellValueType = typeof(DateTime);  
//To hide the cell buttons     
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["Column_Name"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.ShowButtons = GridShowButtons.Hide;
